About this show
A miserable new comedy – you are the unsuspecting guests of a Boogie Woogie Entertainments party. A dysfunctional clown double-act wars with a school disco DJ/magician. Their well-meaning manager struggles to keep it together. Everything rides on one final party – and you’re invited. Hopefully, they won’t all kill each other before it’s over. Chaos and calamity unfold in Sweaty Clowns, a darkly riotous yet sincere show about the lengths we’ll go to refuse failure.

3.5 stars It’s an irresistible premise: what's not to love about a pair of miserable clowns spiralling into failure, dragging the whole of Boogie Woogie Entertainments towards bankruptcy with them?
